A Writer’s Declaration

I am a writer.

I am a writer because I choose to be, not because someone else tells me I am.

I am a writer because I cannot not write.

I am a writer because I write, not because I have been published (or not).

I am a writer, and no agent, no editor, no rejection will deter me from writing.

I am a writer because I have stories to tell, even if only to myself.

I am a writer, and therefore I will make time to write.

I am a writer, and therefore I will continually hone my craft.

I am a writer, and therefore I will work hard to breathe life into my characters.

I am a writer, and therefore I will enjoy the journey.

I am a writer, and I will not allow obstacles to become insurmountable.

I am a writer, and I will write until I can write no more.

What’s your declaration? What would you add?

Happy writing!
